Wulai District is a mountain indigenous district in southern New Taipei City in northern Taiwan. It sits near the border with Taipei and is famous for its hot springs. It is the largest district in New Taipei, as well as the most mountainous, and is home to the indigenous Atayal people.
Insider tip — The free foot baths along the stream are open 24 hours — a convivial relaxation typically Taiwanese. Sample the grilled wild boar sausages and Atayal millet wine (bâbao) — authentic indigenous cuisine. The illuminated waterfall at night is spectacular.
